Should I ask her??

On thanksgiving day a close relative's wife was showing me pictures of their 2month old baby on her cellphone. She told me to keep sliding the screen to see the rest of the pics and she walked off. So im sliding and i come across this picture of her with bruises on her face. Its almost like those pictures the police take as evidence when someone has been assaulted. Her lip was split, her eye was black and her face was scratched. Im not gonna lie, i did continue to slide the screen to see if there were more pictures of this nature. I saw a few more of bruises on her body like her arms and thighs. I was shocked. Im not sure how old the pics were.

So anyways her husband came over to where i was and was like "oh your'e looking at the pictures of the baby? he is getting big isnt he?"

By this time i had started scrolling back the pics to the baby pics so he wouldnt see the pics i discovered.

Well her husband grabbed the phone and started scrolling through the pics. Judging by the sudden tense look on his face i could tell he had discovered the pics that i saw. He looked pissed. He walked over to her and was like "lets go right now" she looked confused and was like "why?". I saw him show her the phone and he was like " why do you still have these?"

She didnt say anything. I honestly didnt know what to say or do. They started arguing about leaving. She wanted to stay. So i told her that i could give her a ride home if he wanted to go. But she said " no its ok" and she left with him.

I was gonna ask her about the pics if i gave her a ride but that didnt happen. So now im trying to think if i should reach out to her. I wonder if she wanted me to see those pics.

On the outside they seem like a normal loving couple who have verbal spats every now and then but i never would have guessed physical abuse was taking place.

They have been married for about a year and i am not like super tight with her but we are cool. Im not sure how she would feel about me bringing this up.

What do yall think? Should i call her and talk to her or stay out of it?

Maybe she did that for you to see and for you to know.


If a person knows something like that is in their phone one would be extra cautious about who sees it I would think.

At least you could let her know that you are open to talk .

call her thats why she wanted you to see the pics.

My conscious wouldn't let me not say anything. At the very least let her know that you are there if she ever needs you
